Just wondering about a good bumper / skid plate setup for the Typhon 6s. I took the optional bumper from the Kraton 6s just to check. Is the same part for the Typhon. Not quite happy. Just protudes so much - or not?
I need skid plates but a front aluminium skid plate needs a different bumper or spacer. Just did some really long jumping on a new wooden ramp and the chassis did some good scraping front and rear when hitting the ramp at high speed.
1. So one option is to use the Arrma bumper (integrated plastic skid plate) like in the pictures and an aluminium rear skid plate. Does this option give too much load on the bumper instead of sharing the load with the wheels when hitting to steep?
2. The other option is to use both aluminium skid plates front and back, no bumper and some spacer in front to assemble the front skid plate. If I hit to steep it would break a wishbone (intended breaking point) instead of full force into the chassis.
What is better?
